Will not stay with Meldola, but invites him to Godalming for the weekend instead. Wants his advice about gas stoves.

Shall be glad to see Meldola on Monday afternoon. Has a friend staying so can't offer him a bed. The Varleys called but I don't know if they saw anything. The Corporation of Godalming have to sue the Gas Company humbly to "enlighten their darkness"! The Swann lamps would go out and where they did not go out gave far less light than gas lamps!.
CD happy to lend Weismann’s pamphlet to RM.
Is coming to town for a meeting of the Land Nationalisation Society. Could he have a bed on Tuesday night?.
Regrets he can add no more to his preface for Weismann’s Studies. Offers donation to aid with publishing expenses.
Thinks RM’s preface is excellent.
Agrees to propose RM for the Royal Society.
No summary available.
RM’s application to the Royal Society.
Has examination papers from 20 May to about 6 June. Your article on [Epping Forest] in Nature was far too mild. I trust that in Contemp., it will be hotter and stronger.
Requests a bed on Monday as ARW has engagements on Monday and Tuesday.
A friend is coming on Thursday and Friday so ARW can't come to Meldola's meeting on Friday.
Have let their house for a month from 8th August. Will go to the New Forest for a week or two weeks, and then to Swanage, Dorset. "I want to give Willie a treat in fossils." Has received an invitation from Lord Mount Temple, of Broadlands. "I much prefer the quiet of Swanage and shall decline of course." Does Meldola know of anyone the ARW's could lodge with in the New Forest? Invites him to stay.
Unable to get room in Swanage they are in Weymouth. On the way, Mrs Wallace met a gentleman who recommended a place to stay in Lyndhurst, where they will stay from 23 August for two weeks - Laurel Cottage. Perhaps Meldola will come on Saturday and see about his lodging (60 St Thomas' St Weymouth).
Comments on Meldola's article in the Annals. It has disposed of Mr. Distant's hazy objections. Can he stay on Friday night, when he comes up for a meeting of the L and Nationalisation Society?.
Invites Meldola over.
ARW will be leaving for home on 5th June. Invites Meldola to stay on his way to the British Association for a few days. Suggests trains.
Enclosing tickets for the 4th and 11th March. Meldola's deputation was wasted on Sir John Lubbock -why not go direct to the Home Secretary? Should appeal to government to veto Epping Forest Bill -and more on this.
Invites Meldola to stay if he has made no other arrangements for Easter. They can go to see Stafford's Curiosity Shop on Monday and we have a hermit's cave to show him.
Sorry for Meldola's cold. You must be careful for such things are not trifles. ARW is suffering from his eyes and can hardly read.
Will meet on Friday afternoon. About Sir Wilfred Lawson's speech.
